The best Pakistani food locations to take a first date

Looking for a great place that serves traditional Pakistani food to impress your interracial date?

When it comes to trying to impress your first date who is non-Pakistani, the best thing to do is to let them have a feel of what your culture is all about. Now, you might be thinking of some random restaurant that just serves western-like foods. But is that really what they will enjoy? If its western food, I am sure they are tired of it already.

How about making your first date a cultural experience that they will never forget? Take your date to a place that serves traditional Pakistani cuisine like biryani, roti, chapati, masala stews, kebabs…
